Citrix server
requirements

Receiver for HTML5
supports access to desktops and applications through the following versions of
StoreFront. Stores must be accessed through Receiver for Web sites. Receiver
for HTML5 does not support direct access to StoreFront stores, either using the
store URL or the XenApp Services URL.

For direct
connections through StoreFront without NetScaler Gateway, Receiver for HTML5
can be used to access desktops and applications delivered by the following
product versions.

XenDesktop

XenDesktop 7.6

XenApp

XenApp 7.6

XenApp 6.5

Hotfix
Rollup Pack 3 or later and the Group Policy Management 1.7 update must also be
installed on the XenApp 6.5 server.

Secure user
connections

In a production
environment, Citrix recommends securing communications between Receiver for Web
sites and users' devices with NetScaler Gateway and HTTPS. Receiver for HTML5
enables user access to desktops and applications from public networks with the
following versions of NetScaler Gateway.

NetScaler Gateway 10.5

NetScaler Gateway 10.1

Note: Secure ICA does
not work through Receiver for HTML5 specifically. Configuring encryption of
applications within XenApp 6.5 will not allow the use of these Receiver version
types since only SSL to Netscaler or secure WebSockets are supported.

Receiver for HTML5
now supports CloudBridge disabling compression and printer compression as well
as using HDX Insight analytics to display in CloudBridge Insight Center.
